Pudder's today for lunch with work friends... We entered the historic building to be immediately greeted with a friendly hello and a smile. The staff here is always so nice and helpful. Today I chose the chicken fingers with fries, and they were delicious! Everything was freshly prepared and arrived in a quick order. Our waitress, Bailey, was exceptional! Pudder's should definitely be on your list of favs. read more

The cauliflower appetizer was great, perfect amount of breading and soft inside. I got a salad loaded with bacon and banana peppers. They make their own ranch, and it was so thick...which I LOVED! I can't wait until they have outdoor seating on the patio area. There is easy parking if you approach from Washington Street. Awesome choice for lunch. read more

We were in town on business and the amazing lady at out hotel suggested Pudders for supper. We all ordered the Buffalo Chicken Wrap. It was good. I ordered a side of Buffalo sauce with mine because it was not spicy enough for me. Also, it was served cold. It was good, but for supper I would have preferred it served hot with the wrap a little grilled so the cheese would have been melted and hot all the way through. I like my lunch wraps cold but my supper wraps hot! It was good, though! Stop by and check them out. We sat at the bar so I could have my Bud Bottle-no glass with my spicy wrap! A perfect combination! Most Sincerely! read more

Wish I could show a pic of my food. I'm local and so is this place. Ordered food to go they told me the wait time. Arrived they were bagging the food told me to wait by the bar to pay. Waited....waited...waited. The bartender kept passing by never said a word. Finally after got tired of waiting, left, and called right outside to cancel the order. The bartender says you can come back in.....that their system was down and helping servers.....why couldn't you just told me that while I was waiting??? Instead of just walking by me acting like I didn't exist? Had my card out.....and the owner... who usually Checking on everything saw me but continued to fill silverware. I like this place but new ownership hasn't been well. Sorry this is very disappointing. After the fact I had to come back in and they were ready after I canceled the order read more

Traveling along I-74 toward Indianapolis looking for a spot to stop for supper, I came across Shelbyville. Pudders was at the top of the list when I played Yelp Roulette. I really liked the choices of pub food they had. Pudders is located downtown in an old building that had been remodeled. I was really torn between 3 items on the menu, 2 of which were burgers. But I asked the waitress if I only ate here once in my life, what do I need to eat. She said the pulled pork nachos so I went with it. These Nachos were impressive! The pulled pork was nice and tender. The queso was creamy and white. Jalepenos and tomatoes added some deliciousness to my nachos. However, I didn't care for the BBQ sauce on it. It tasted very similar to the BBQ sauce I hated in my last review. If I m back in Shelbyville though again, I will stop at Pudders again. Too much good stuff on the menu to try. read more

This place was phenomenal!!! Had the AYCE Catfish and let me tell you hands down the best from texture to flavor. 10/10 The owner came out to talk to us because we raved to server about our food. Talking to him I could feel the passion he has for his business. Now days this is few and far between. From service to atmosphere to food it was exceptional. read more

I stopped here to have a cocktail and get carryout. I found parking on the side street just off the circle. I went in and sat at the bar. I ordered a Bloody Mary and placed my to-go order. The bartender was nice and my drink was good. As I looked around and was taking photos I became a bit uneasy about eating there. In my photos you will see cobwebs in the lighting and the really dirty mirror behind the bar. This was about 5:30 so not after a long day and night. My order was a 7" Philly Cheese Steak pizza, pulled pork nachos, and hot wings. My order was correct when I received it. The wings were ok, the pizza was not the greatest flavor wise but the nachos were a complete bust. They were a soggy mess, maybe because oddly there is slaw on top? I would not recommend getting these to-go. Not sure I would go here again. Maybe they will clean up their act, literally. read more

After an 1 hour with no appetizer (BBQ nachos) and no drink refills we asked server to check on appetizer but had to track her down to ask. We were literally on zero time frame so we had been very very patient up to that point. Another 10 mins later she comes back and says our nachos must of been taken to another table and now they are out of nachos. She non chalantly apologized and said obviously they would take it off our bill and can she get us anything else. We said no, because we didn't want to wait another hour. But I asked that she check on the entree food we ordered because at that point it had been well over an hour. Another 10 mins go by and she's doing other things not even checking on our food. We both decided to leave a few dollars on the table for our water and 1 Diet Coke and we left. Waitress was standing by another table as we walked by (not checking on our food) and we just told her we were leaving First time in my life I've ever done that at a restaurant but honestly we wanted to take our money elsewhere at that point. read more

I'm new to this town. I just moved here and started my career. This was the first restaurant I visited and it made me feel like I was at home. The waitress was very nice and speedy. The atmosphere was relaxed and country. The Buffalo Chicken Wrap was really good. It was almost too hot to eat. I saved half for leftover and it was just as good then. It was slightly spicy, had plenty of sauce, and had a good crunch to it. The Macaroni and Cheese was cool not because it was in cast iron but because it was made with queso cheese. It was Al dente and had queso cheese poured on top. Definitely would get again. read more

This was our first time and it was a little frustrating. My sister and I, our husbands took our parents out for the evening. We decided to go here for the variety of food and their yelp rating. The atmosphere was ok typical bar. Our waitress came to the table took drink order came back and then preceded to tell us everything they were out of. Bread sticks chips but they had cheese. Motz sticks and so on. We ended up ordering garlic bread and cauliflower bites. They were good. We ordered two different pizzas, wings fries, chicken tenders, and a side salad. The meat lovers pizza had mushrooms on it which I did not read on my menu but when I ask the waitress she said it said that. Pizza was ok. Sister said salad dressing was tangy and couldn't eat salad. It took a while to get our food. We may try again but not sure. read more

Had a party of 10 for a family birthday dinner, we were able to make a reservation and the table was ready when we arrived. The high tops are irregularly shaped so it was a little tight. Everyone enjoyed their food, but it took a while to get it and everyone was done by the time mine arrived. Our server kept trying to explain the intricacies of the food service industry instead of just taking our orders, bringing our food & keeping our drinks full. read more

Our server was the best part. Kept our drinks filled and checked on us often. Even after we had paid and were talking to catch up made sure we didn't want any refills. The fried banana peppers were ADDICTING. The burger was just okay, I wouldn't order it again. I would probably order pizza next time I go, another person at my table ordered it and it looked amazing. I liked the overall atmosphere of Pudders and it made it easy to talk and converse. read more

I booked the Pub at Pudder's for a reunion type party. Bryan, the owner, made sure everything was perfect. He even made sure my specific pie requests were 100% correct. Bryan was present the entire event insuring the service was superb. The staff were nice and attentive the whole 4 hours. I highly recommend Pudder's for an event or just a drink. It's a great place to have in Shelbyville. read more

Wife and I stopped in for lunch, never been there before. Ordered a breaded tenderloin sandwich, it comes with fries, as priced. Waitress asked if fries was OK with that, I said I'd rather have cole slaw. She then says that it will be a $2 upcharge. I looked at the prices for side items, fries were $4, and slaw was $3. so they not only save a dollar on my order, but charged me another $2 for doing that for them - or about an extra 10% tacked on to my bill. Food was good, but playing games with the pricing is not, in my book. read more

Stopped by here tonight for dinner. Great place located on the square! The service was great. The food was really good! Highly recommend the tater kegs. We all enjoyed our food. We will definitely visit here again! read more

Delicious! My husband and I ordered the Tater Kegs as an appetizer, and they were potato-y cheesy goodness! Our burgers were perfect, and the service was exceptional. Can get a little loud if it's busy, but altogether a nice, casual date night. read more

1st visit. Daughter just moved to area. The downtown area was beautiful. Easy parking. We arrived at 17.30 and it was busy. We requested a low tabletop and was seated in comfortable seating as requested. Waitress Samantha greeted us explained the menu and drink options. Took are appetizer order and drink order and had those to us in a timely manor. The food items were to Oder and tasty. Would recommend to anyone in Shelbyville area. read more

Went for first time today. Ordered two different pizzas. Supreme and chicken bacon ranch. Neither were hot. Quality was almost okay. Would not order that again. Breaded mushrooms were more like a meatball texture. Not sure what it was, tasted terrible. Four people at table and no one could eat the "mushrooms". They were disgusting. Waitress said she would take them off of bill but never did. Best thing I had were the fried banana peppers. Someone at our table ordered catfish and really liked that. Not sure I will give this another try. read more

Business closed if I am not mistaken. This was info from mid-December. Loved it while it was there. Tough biz to make work.

Food is very good and several choices on the menu. The hamburgers are very good with several different choices. With one being a build your own burger. read more

Update: I had the Cajun chicken sandwich which was good but oily ( look at the picture of the sandwich I posted). The onion rings was the worst tasting side I have ever had in my life. I think that the oil it was fried in was being overused and is used to fry all the fried dishes that they make. It had a horrible after taste .. I could tell that a lot of fish was fried in the same oil. Plus the coating was flaky too. The wait time was a little high and there were flies near the table. read more

Probably one of nicest handful of restaurants in this town. Nice setting with exposed brick, historic character. Menu consists of burgers, wings, sandwiches, pizza. Very affordable. Wings were fair but sauces were generic, missed mark on flavor and spice. Remainder of food not bad, not great. Service was best part of experience I'd say, very much attune to water and needs of guests. Beer list small-appeared to have 6 beers on tap. Solid joint for small town in Shelbyville but grading on a curve would be avg to slightly below avg for similar indy concept. read more

Great food and great service. I recommend trying the managers special burger. It rotates daily and gives the chef an option to just cook! They ask you if you are allergic to anything and then just make what ever they are feeling that day. See the picture and caption on my review to see this awesome burger they whipped up for me. Reason for four stars has nothing to do with food or service, but rather their ventilation system. The smoke from the kitchen is overwhelming and needs to be corrected. It's really bad in this regard. read more

Pudders - "Managers choice" burger! Jalapeños, banana peppers, Asian sauce and YES you are seeing this correctly....LOADED BAKED POTATO on top. - Fast Food Near Me - Shelbyville, Indiana

Food was good, nothing that I had was actually great- cod sandwich, fried banana peppers. Even the "craft" draft beer was a disappointment with a minimal selection available. Service was inconsistent, not welcoming or especially friendly. Doubt I will return. read more

Stopped by last year the Sunday Catfish was unreal, sorry to say today it was not good. The fried catfish was over done & the grilled was sent out way undercooked. The coleslaw was the highlight of the food as the hush puppies were like rocks. We waited at the the table for over 10 minutes before our server came over & the whole experience with her was as though she wanted to be somewhere else. It's unfortunate as last year the experience was 5 stars. read more

Hurrah! A fun new dining experience in the 'ville! Our group of 13 had a great experience. Our table was ready when we arrived, our server was spot on, and everyone loved their food. The complimentary chips were tasty and plentiful. We had salads, soups, wraps, pizza, burgers, tenderloins....it's all good. Seems like the kitchen and servers have it all together. The owner stopped by our table to make sure everything was ok. Big plus+ It's great to see this historic building come back to life. Pudders will be one of my go-to spots! read more

We were driving to the Indy Speedway from Cincinnati and wanted to find lunch. We 'stumbled' upon Pudders. What a pleasant surprise. Food was fresh with some unique items. Very good. Service was very good as well. I would recommend a try if in the area!! read more

This restaurant is a very nice dining experience. The food is good as well as the service. The menu has a wide variety of items to choose from. There is a bar for those who It is family friendly. The building was formerly a hardware store and fortunately some of the decor of the old building has been retained. It overlooks the downtown area which was recently renovated. We spent an enjoyable evening with our family there. We will certainly return. If you're looking for casual dining you will enjoy this facility. read more

Very nice place, our server Shawn was Great. We had the garlic cheese bread with marinara 5 dollars it was good, we shared the fish in chips but for the price 11.00 it wasn't a big portion. We ate all of our food. Nice place and we will return. read more

Stopped in while visiting a friend in town! She suggested I try pudders! I have to say it's very clean the seats are all spaced out for safe social distancing. Our server was very friendly and gave us a couple of suggestions! We had the BBQ Burger, Bacon chicken ranch pizza and the pulled pork nachos (my fave) I have to say everything was wonderful but the nachos is what I'm coming back for!! They also have one of the best sweet tea's in my opinion!! They also offer to go sweet teas! FYI! read more

Wow! Discovered a great place tonight! Met a colleague for a dinner and convo, and glad we ended up at Pudder's! First, the food was great, we had 3 different soups and all were excellent. Also had chicken wings, buffalo cauliflower and a great burger. Everything was very tasty and well prepared. The service was EXCELLENT! There had been a misunderstanding about our order, and even though we were ok with things as they came out, the server and owner both insisted on correcting. They did so graciously and willingly. We enjoyed having a few moments to chat about the restaurant and its success. After this evening, it's easy to see why the reviews are so positive. Our opinion is that Pudder's was better than we anticipated. Also of note is the setting itself. The dining room had great touches of brick walls and a current decor, but when we continued our conversation outdoors, we found the best seat in the house. The patio tables take advantage of the excellent renovations made to downtown Shelbyville! Enjoying a great Indiana evening in that setting reminded me of similar experiences in Charleston SC and other great outdoor dining locales. Congrats to Brian for creating an awesome place for all who are lucky enough to visit! read more

I ordered the Wednesday special which was a two item pizza with breadsticks. I had the paramersa pizza before so asked for that without oinions. I was ok if I had to pay extra for the extra topping but I wasn't excepting to not get a pizza sauce on the pizza! Not sure if that was the deal or it was forgotten! Was dinning with a large group and did not complain because at first I just thought it was really dry. I should have asked or mentioned it, but that's on me. Service was good-will be back but will make sure if I order a pizza- I ask for sauce!! read more

I went to Pudders last week for the first time and I was thoroughly impressed. Service was a four out of five... And my food was a 4+. I had the veggie wrap and it was very flavorful with seasoning to compliment the perfectly sautéed vegetables. I would definitely recommend the Vegetable wrap!! Also, they had a pretty good selection of beers on tap. read more
